Slow file contents search

Post by stric »

Since the update to version 20.40 the contents seach is very slow and while searching XYplorer can't be activated again after switching to another app. This behavior persists until the current version.

Additionally, a memory error sometimes occurs (in 20.40.0029 and 20.60.0108) while searching in a big XML file:
Memory limit reached, Line #078: finaltext .= StrGet(&but, siz, "UTF-16")

I tested this with the available beta versions:
20.30.0028 search done in 14 secs (scanned 14.036 items in 2.045 folders)
20.40.0029 >10min
20.60.0108 >10min

The searched folder contains mainly different text files (eg .java, .xml, ...) and pictures.

20.40 added support for 64-bit IFilters.

Turn this off to go back to the previous behavior:
Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | 64-bit Windows | Use 64-bit IFilters

I tried that already. The test runs was done with "Use 64-bit IFilters" disabled. Seems that the checkbox does not quite fulfill its purpose.

OK, I think I see now what's going wrong. Expect a fix in the next beta...
